North British
Tasting Notes
This North British 30-Year-Old single grain Scotch whisky is a true gem for those seeking an exceptional value in the realm of aged spirits. Distilled back in 1988 and patiently matured in a refill butt, it unveils a captivating symphony of aromas reminiscent of a banana milkshake-drenched porridge, accompanied by notes of sawdust, dried apricots, and roasted coffee beans. On the palate, it delivers a luxurious experience of buttery pastries infused with sultanas and enveloped in a decadent chocolate syrup drizzle, along with a subtle floral sweetness lingering in the background. The finish is marked by a drying oak spice, leaving a lasting impression of its well-aged character. With a limited run of 311 bottles at 51.7% ABV, this offering from Thompson Bros. presents a rare opportunity to indulge in a remarkably affordable and delightfully complex single grain Scotch whisky.
